David James & Ellen Masse
Country Music From The HeartBand/artist history
Dave & Ellen met back in 1983 at their family reunion. Cousins who shared the same musical fantasy, that would stay untapped for several years. What began as lip-synching in the family living room over the years turned into a pretty successful musical run in New England from 1990-1998. They began performing many years ago in local nursing homes and trauma centers, using their music to really tap into the human spirit. It was there that they honed their skills and became comfortable with performing in front of "non-family". Influenced by many artists from Trisha Yearwood, to The Carpenters, their sound was different than what people were used to hearing. Known for their harmonies, charisma, and high-energy performances...it wasn't long before people started talking. What ballooned in the coming years was almost hard to believe. Their musical following grew bigger and bigger, and suddenly their faces and music turned up everywhere. Posters, pictures, t-shirts, bumper stickers, radio, TV...etc. Both cousins, being very down-to-earth, nothing was ever taken for granted. Each and every person that came to their shows felt like they were best friends with the duo, as a result of their tireless effort to make everyone feel like they we there to share something special. Their debut CD, "Be With Me", recorded with the Joni C Band in 1995 was named "Recording Of The Year" at the Country Music Organization Of America's national talent competition. They conquored the music circuit on the east coast, and won dozens of awards from the Downeast Country Music Association, as well as 7 national titles in Las Vegas, from the Country Music Organizations Of America. Shortly after winning every category nationally in 1997, everything seemed to fall apart. "We were national award winners in Las Vegas, and returned home to playing smally dingy bars and some unsavory venues...it was such a culture shock. From top of the world to top of the tiny-stale-beer-stench stage..." "Music became something people paid us to do, and not what was fun, meaningful, and exciting anymore". "We were at a show one night, and nobody cared what we sang. It was about what we were wearing, what kind of beat there was...the words, harmony, vocals didn't matter. We felt like 'musical whores'...doing music for the money. We said we'd stop when it stopped being fun, and we did!". Several years later now, they are picking their projects very carefully. They volunteer still for different organizations, like Camp Waban, an organization that assists disabled children. "We feel reborn. We've both suffered many heartaches and challenges, and swam upcurrent in both our professional and personal lives. It's our time to go back to the beginning and share some good stuff with some special people!".
We are currently mixing the NEW CD...Be on the lookout in the coming months!Have you performed in front of an audience?After playing throughout the country, we are much more selective in the shows we now do...
